Fan Art Friday (44)

This week's fan art is based on Paranormalcy by Kiersten White. Read it, loved it, expect a review soon. This piece is exceptionally .. weird. It's not a movie poster, because I don't think it really looks like one. But it has purpose, I promise. I tried my hand at some of the paranormal characters in the story. (Evie, Lend, Lish & Reth) For the most part, I like how they came out. Doing Lend's watery body was nearly impossible, but I did what I could with my skills and resources. Thoughts?

Getting Reth right was the hard part. For those of you haven't read it yet, Reth (the blonde dude) is described as angelic-looking and gorgeous. My first attempt (which had me photoshopping another face onto Lucius Malfoy's head) failed miserably. Instead of gorgeous and angelic, I had him looking like Prince Nuada from Hellboy 2. But I eventually got him looking decent and .. proportionate.

As always, if you've got fan art or an idea for fan art that you'd like featured, just shoot me an email at skellington28210@yahoo.com.

Wow! This art really captures the flavor of Paranormalcy! I especially love the pink sweatshirt with bats. :) I've been scoping out your work because I saw on the teen{book}scene blog tour that you're doing some fan art for Tyger Tyger soon. I can't wait to see it, I love that book!
